Well to find out if it's been awake the whole time you have to go in one more menu deeper. You can do that by pressing the graph in the battery stats.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlazinHitman:
i recently installed stock froyo (just rooted) and i actually get amazing battery life...not even running juice defender or anything and ive been using my phone quite frequently. data on and off throughout the day, near constant texting, approx 1hr worth of talk time and other miscellaneous activities and i still have 60% left of my battery...its been on for about 16hrs now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddiosky:
I'm looking in the graph, Awake is on the whole time. Then when I scroll down, these are the program is always on:

Launcher, Telephony Service, Messaging, Facebook, Gmail, Email, Maps

Well I just installed Advance Task Killer again.. even though alot of people said it doesn't work. I'm going to test that for the rest of the day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
I'm currently exploring which programs are preventing the phone to stay "asleep."

I freeze lots of programs I don't use, the only ones I see constantly active now are Google maps, Facebook, and the launcher (which I hope isn't one of the issues).

I froze the first 2 and I'll be doing tests today to see exactly what it is.

Do you guys use the default MIUI launcher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddiosky:
Yeah I'm using the default MIUI launcher..

I also freezed MAP and FACEBOOK... see how that goes for the rest of the day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Phone was off for about an hour straight, think I'm getting better "sleep" periods. Launcher activity is constantly blue.

I use the modified launcher with the extended settings. Only widget on it is fancy widget pro.

Going to see how well the phone fairs for the rest of the day.

EDIT:

Been doing research, apparently telocation causes a lot of battery drain, and alarm manager (although mine is almost always asleep).

I recently uninstalled fancy widget in hopes that launcher won't keep itself awake, and froze the telocation and no freeze or force close on anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ap0ptosis:
I had a major battery issue with my last install of CM7 on a new G2X, what fixed it for me was enabling "use wireless networks" in location and security settings. I noticed something was odd when I ran speedtest and every time it would try to connect to servers in NY or NJ(I live in NC).....I'm not exactly sure what was going on, but enabling it fixed my battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Really now? How odd. It's always enabled for me.
[TouchPad General] alternut:
I thought maybe my install was corrupted, so I tried 2 more times, and even ran ACMEUninstaller to redo the whole process...but it still thinks my touchpad is a GT-i9100.

what should I do?
[TouchPad General] bajingo:
I think it's meant to do that for app compatibility.
[TouchPad General] BuddyJoe83:
in that rom the developer probably edited the build.prop (found in system/app) to GT-I9100 so that a lot of apps are usable on your touchpad.

So in a way it should benefit you :)
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
The build.prop file has been changed to be able to play Gameloft games, mostly.

Rev Kyle has a video showing how it's changed.

Do a search and you'll find plenty of info on this.

Touchpad

Hi all

I tested almost all the Xron Roms from start to end with most of the apps and games. 2.9.1 is the best.

give it a try.......:)
[TouchPad General] bit1:
As stated above it is done on purpose in order to allow more apps and games to work successfully from the market. Enjoy it, it's a great ROM with great developers that will only get better!
[TouchPad General] treehumper:
Since it's a device that wasn't initially built for Android, not many apps would install, much less run, on it if we said it was a TouchPad.... no apps were designed with that in mind and the Market definitely wasn't.
[TouchPad General] Oldpapa49:
The build.prop was edited to reflect an android device that most programs will agree and download off the market. Since the Touchpad is a WebOS, it is not to be known as an Android device. You can edit the build.prop to any device, but the Samsung seems to be the better choice of all.

:D
[TouchPad General] virgilone2:
Xron rules. smoothest, fastest rom yet
[TouchPad General] Solartrooper:
I agree. Been using xron for a while now and the 2.9.1 is working very smoooth :)
[TouchPad General] jj970:
But all the apps run really small...like they are for a phone screen. Is there a way to make it run full screen?

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Something wrong here. I don't have a single app that isn't full screen.
[TouchPad General] happyta5:
That is funny.... define All!
[TouchPad General] happyta5:
Finally, I can post here.

Thankz for the cm & xron team to make such a good rom. Enjoy flashing it 3 times a day. It work with my eye-fi card and my camera now. Just wish to have a better driver to get stable Wi-Fi connection.

I guess wht we have to wait is the ICS build .... keep the good work.
[TouchPad General] asb123:
I also get this but only for one app. Its the gameloft brick breaker game. Because its only visible on the one game I suspect it is a problem in the coding of the game
[TouchPad General] upsmanraz:
I have only one app that shows up small and that's adao file manager. But I knew that was gonna happen.

[Milestone 2 General] playdo:
Hello,

I hope my explanation is good enough to understand my problem:

When I am typing on the hardware-keyboard, I often get stuck at the edge of button "A".

This happens likely after pressing "Shift" and sliding my finger towards "A" or the middle of the keyboard.

It seems that the edge of the button "A" is not smooth or flat enough and probably the overlapping between "shift" and "A" increases this problem.

With overlapping I mean this:

Alt.......A

_____|___|

¯¯¯¯¯¯|

Shift

Has anybody else had this problem while typing? Or is there a fix to avoid bending the edge of the button over and over?

Thanks for any help!

playdo

PS: I am posting this here, not in Q&A, because I think that there is no simple answer for this.
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
No problem here, but I have sometimes more than one letter with one pressing of the key. Like ... Milessstonne

And ... I have now CM72 and QERTY instead of QWERTZ!
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Dunno which ROM are you using, so I dunno if that is right solution for you - but did you try Keyboard debouncer from M2T? It solve this problem, especially the "doublepress" issue.

I had this issue also. Everytime I was writing something, it looked like this:

Helllo, how aare yyoou...

etc. It was terrible, but KB Debouncer solved it :) (and it should solve stuck issue also)

Just give it a try if you can. And if you can't, then consider trying another ROM, because for me this was quite annoying issue :)
[Milestone 2 General] playdo:
You got my problem wrong.

My finger always gets stuck at the key edge.

It is no software issue or semething like that.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Ahh... I should read more carefully. Sorry both of you. My mistake :)

I don't have problem, you described, but the keyboard is a lot worse, than on my old 9500 Communicator - but hey, there was more space on 9500, than on M2, so no complains :)
[Milestone 2 General] playdo:
I am just afraid that I damage my "A" button some day :D

Weird that this problem isn't more common.

Maybe I just have some sort of assembly fault with my keyboard.

My old HTC Hermes was also equipped with a "better" keyboard but it was also a real big rock of a phone ;)
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
Sorry, for offtopic, but this is my problem, were can I find this debouncer? Market? Download?

@playdo ... yes indeed, I think your keyboard is damaged! Sorry for that.

I like my keyboard of the MS2!

Here you go!

I have a 2-3 weeks old gnex unrooted with stockrom.

I want to root and switch rooms, but keep my app data.

Is there anyway to do this?

Google has a backup service, but i have no idea how it works.

There are mainly 4-5 app datas i want to keep. incl Wifi data, gta III, World of goo...

Is there anyway to root without data wipe?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johantheolive:
You can try this or you may have success using mybackup from the market. I'd have thought that the phone could be rooted without unlocking but a little searching seems to reveal the opposite.

The background setting in the Shell registry hierarchy works just the same as for :MSStart also for: :MSScut (Short Dials), :MSSolitaire (Solitaire), :WCEload (when installing programs) and :SIMPinBKGround (when entering the SIM PIN).

You may not want to have backgrounds for all of the above, but to get rid of the light green background in Solitaire, set the value of BKUnselected there to something else than "00FF00" which is Green only. Sequence is RGB, so make your choice. Even simpler (and best choice here): Add BKDefaultGradient = dword:1 which gives you the standard (and altered by your color scheme) gradient color on the background.

The dialog for the SIM PIN is not transparent though, so not nice to look at.

Of course the Shell\RAI has other bitmap settings (brandings, dialog backgrounds), no need to mention that here.

[General Questions and Answers] MarlonKaye:
If it's true, why is that? Is it because stock ROM developers are better? :D

Not being a troll. Honest question.

I'm just curious. I use galaxy Ace, and I would very much like to use a custom ROM to get rid of all the samsung junk apps. But if it's unstable, it may not be worth it. :(
[General Questions and Answers] 314:
No. Well made custom roms are usually more stable and faster than stock roms, especially for devices which have unoptimized stock roms, such as the SGS.

You can remove apps from the stock rom by rooting it - Its not necessary to flash a custom one.
[General Questions and Answers] MarlonKaye:
Hi 314! Really, I didn't know that. How do I do it safely?
[General Questions and Answers] mhwarfield:
My personal experience is that custom ROMs have been every bit as stable as stock ROMs. I'm quite often running alphas and dailies and impressed with their stability. Of course, doing that, you're bound to run into some gotcha's from time to time but that's part of the fun of dailies, discovering the changes and surprises. I'm on Deck's alpha1 ICS ROM and it's been sweet, but alpha2 hasn't worked for me (wigetsoid seems broken). Shurg. So I restored alpha1, wait for alpha3, and try and get my post count up to give Deck some feedback in his thread. :-P
[General Questions and Answers] MarlonKaye:
Thanks mhwarfield. What are dailies? and what is OPS?
[General Questions and Answers] rayhan0701:
"You can remove apps from the stock rom by rooting it - Its not necessary to flash a custom one."

Well i heard this before in some youtube video but exactly not sure how and with which software may be (root manager). Please somebody with experience in this matter give us a full guide how to remove junk apps after rooting. Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] vieose:
You can do that easy with "Titanium Backup" from the Market after you Rooted your Device. I think you dont need "Titanium Back Pro" to Remove Junk Apps.
[General Questions and Answers] Spl4tt:
It's really really not difficult.

Android stores all

user

apps in "/data/app"

all

stock

apps are stored in "/system/app" (this includes every system app, even the keyboard, camera and the gallery are in here)

this is the place where the junk apps should be ( i never had a bloated phone, but i guess they are in here, because we need root to manipulate files here)

now use a file explorer with root function (i use root explorer, and i definitely recommend it) and browse to this folder.

search the junkApp.apk and delete it.

you're done

EDIT: oh and yes, you can do it with titanium backup too, but i don't know if you need the pro version for it
[General Questions and Answers] TheContinental:
Once you get custom ROMs out of Alpha/Beta/RC, they're better than stock, in my opinion. "Custom" means they can be designed for extra speed, power, leanness, beauty, or any combination of the above.

I don't mind helping out with betas and contributing to developers. Usually, by the time it gets to beta, most stuff is buttoned up nice and tight--plus I don't demand much from my phone.

Sounds like you got it covered with root and Titanium Backup. But do not fear the custom ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Entropy512:
It really depends. Some developers are EXTREMELY aggressive and throw a ton of crap into their kernel/ROM without much testing so they can "get ahead" - but often this leads to instability.

Others carefully fix issues one by one, with the exception of initially doing "standard" mods (like extended power menu on Android).

Some ROMs will often see releases coming out multiple times a week, often with lots of changes and reverting back and forth, and ALWAYS rebasing on the latest and greatest stock base, even before it's proven. This approach can sometimes pay off, but the risk of screwing up is high. Most such ROMs turn out to be crap.

Other ROMs take the most stable known base available, and fix whatever remaining known issues exist, and make a few standard tweaks. These are the ROMs that you still see people using more than three months after the last update. An example of this is VillainROM over in I9100-land. I only know of two issues with it - one has a one-time-after-install workaround, and the other is specific to trying to run that ROM on a device it wasn't designed for (I777).

Hi,

Its been complained about on couple of threads but im looking for some hope.

Im trying to get UBS Mobile Banking in Switzerland but its not compatible with SGS2 (due to my custom ROM, Root, who know why) This as many apps would most likely work if downloaded as apk and installed with e.g. rootexplorer.

Is there a way to trick the android market to get any apk from it ? Maybe some new generic account on google or else ?

Thanks

When in settings i try to copy it to SD card is says it is copy protected.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] smartin:

Question to developers: how does market decide if an app is compatible our not ?

Some custom roms will see app on the market and some won't.

I do not think it is our problem to install this app on devices we have. It is a problem of UBS which apparently can not deliver working product. I have complained/informed them already and would suggest to do the same.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] smartin:
I did complain and i did get answer that is should work on SGS2.

I did in the meantime flashed back to stock rom (from VK) and i could

download and install the app.

Then i loaded Ultratoxic (as this is odin so could easily get custom rom and not go via installation of CWM).

UBS mobile app is also visible and can be loaded into it.

So I figure there are some parameters in VK rom and some others

that block this an perhaps other apps.

chance the build prop.to the right samsung names

i am sure its a build prop. problem... i have a china tablet and when i got it,it could not download anything from market not even facebook i therefor chance the build prop. to a galaxy tab name and now i can download all things to that tab...

so if you have custom rom((because the names in custom roms is not always right)) you wanna chance the build prop. with root explorer ect. to the proper names...SAMSUNG names just find a build prop. like that above and make your names the same. save it and root explorer makes a copy of your old prop. you can go back to if you want.. reboot your phone and now you can download all the normal apps for sgs2..

you can also if you want a game there is not compatibel with our samsungs sgs2..

chance it to whatever you like(htc sensation) install the game rewert back to your stock build prop. and play the game...

hope its usefull and sorry the english.. martin

it looks like google and various other companies have driven round and mapped wifi networks in to their database. If you haven't moved it maybe they are just using your IP address and your exchange is that distance from you.

Maybe? :-)
